Steelers expect Roethlisberger ruling from commish tomorrow

The Steelers are expecting to hear Wednesday what punishment Ben Roethlisberger will receive from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in connection with his alleged sexual-assault incident in Georgia, the Post-Gazette has learned.

Im saying he either gets 2 games with some rehab type deal or like community service thing or 4 games without. My guess is 4 games.

What I heard someone say (sorry, no source, think it was Francesca on FAN NY) is that he may get an certain number of games and then could be reinstated earlier if he behaves or something. Almost like open ended but could apply for re-instatement after 2 games.

I'm hoping for only 2 games. I just hope the Commish doesn't use this as an opportunity to flex his muscles and make an example of Ben. The message will be sent strongly enough just by the suspension with no charges being filed. If I were a betting man I'd bet he gets 4 though.
